It was just a sip or two / myLot

I had not made coffee yesterday. I drank my caffeine in a soft drink instead. So . . . I made coffee last night. generally if I do not get a little caffeine in the afternoon or evening I wake with a headache. I decided to do just a sip or two of that fresh, strong coffee. That was a mistake. I could not go to sleep. So for me, at 8 p.m. even a sip or two can hurt.

@GardenGerty I used to do the same, my coffee pot was going from morning to night. But I have cut myself back to 3 mugs a day, 2 in the morning and 1 at 3 pm

It seems that caffeinne has to do with stopping migraines sometimes.

For some it stops them for others it seems to make them worse. My body is used to having a certain amount of caffeine and if I do not get it then I often have a headache.

@marguicha BC powders is aspirin and caffeine. Excedrin and some other generic have aspirin, caffeine and acetaminophen. Not real good for your kidneys if you take it a lot.

So sorry you got no rest. With me I drink instant it's what my mom and everyone drank in the family growing up. So maybe that's why I can drink a cup and still sleep sometimes right after.

Instant does not have much caffeine. I actually do better drinking a cup and laying down immediately than drinking at 7 or 8 in the evening. I guess it is not in my system yet if I lay down immediately.

I did the same thing last night, but with soda. I figured one swig wouldn't hurt. I was up half the night. Big mistake I won't be making again.

Sleep is such a funny thing right now. Not enough, too much, wrong time, etc.

@GardenGerty I've been struggling over the last couple of weeks with sleep. It's been pretty crazy.
